A former Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Samuel Koku Anyidoho, has filed a GH¢5 million defamation suit against the host of Onua Maakye, Blessed Godsbrain Smart, popularly known as Captain Smart.

The suit was filed at the Accra High Court on Tuesday, March 25, 2025.

According to the court documents sighted by GhanaWeb on March 25, 2025, the plaintiff stated that Captain Smart made several defamatory comments on his TV show in February 2025, which were later republished on GhanaWeb.

Koku Anyidoho argues that these statements have had a negative impact on his mental health and have tarnished his reputation, both professionally and within religious circles, where he is highly respected.

As a result, he is seeking:

• GH¢5 million in damages, including aggravated/exemplary damages for reputational harm

• A retraction and apology

• The removal of the defamatory content
